“Brighter Minds has been a wonderful outlet for Petula to continue to develop musically. In the 3 years that she has been taking lessons, she has improved so much and loved every minute of it. Jeff continues to be the very best instructor, friend, and mentor to her. We are so appreciative of the encouragement and support in a fun environment to help Petula to continue to grow and reach her musical goals. It is so fun to see her doing something she loves! ”
I’d like to nominate Petula for landing her audition last month.
